Israel Prize Winner Condemns Bulldozing of Synagogue

Rabbi Haim Druckman sharply condemned the decision to demolish the synagogue in Migron on Wednesday. "They say the destruction is in the name of the rule of law, but I say it's a malicious law. Nobody would dare to destroy a mosque in the name of the rule of law." Rabbi Druckman is the Rosh Yeshiva of Ohr Etzion Yeshiva, the head of the Bnei Akiva Youth Movement and Center for Bnei Akiva Yeshivot. He was awarded the prestigious Israel Prize in 2012.
